[talk-ph] Mindanao Avenue to NLEX

Sun Jun 13 20:40:11 BST 2010

Interesting... I just noticed that the link road's general alignment matches
that of Republic Avenue way to the east. http://osm.org/go/4zhWO8pr
This goes straight to the Batasan if you follow the general alignment.

I remember that in the original city plan for Quezon City, Republic Avenue
is a planned major road connecting Caloocan, Novaliches, and the Batasan
Complex. I guess the government still have the ROW for that planned road and
that's what they used for the Mindanao Ave.-NLEX link road?
